In Arizona, you are legally obligated to stop if you are involved in an accident, and failure to do so can be considered as leaving the scene of an accident, which may earn you a hit & run charge. This charge can come with serious consequences, especially if someone was injured in the accident.

Arizona law, A.R.S. 28-663 Duty to Give Information and Assistance, states that if you are involved in an accident, you are legally required to perform the following duties:

Give your name, address, and registration to the other driver or responding police officer.

Show your driver’s license if the other driver or responding officer requests that you do so.

Assist the other driver by administering first aid or getting help for injuries if necessary.

Any individual who fails to offer information or assistance after they have been involved in an accident in Arizona can be charged with class 3 misdemeanor which can come with up to $500 in fines and 30 days in jail.

In addition to the statute above, Arizona law includes A.R.S. 28-662 regarding accidents involving damage to a vehicle. This statute states that any individual who is involved in an accident and damage is done to a vehicle has the legal obligation to stop as soon as possible. If you are unable to stop immediately, you must return to the scene as soon as possible. After you have stopped, you must perform the same duties as are stated in A.R.S. 28-663.
